Hi, I'm very new to Drupal, so apologies if this posting is too obvious.
I'm using Drupal 5.5, and downloaded htmlarea 5.x-2.1 and Xinha 0.94 (which I extracted into a xinha subdirectory of htmlarea directory - under modules).
I went into admin -> modules and enabled the htmlarea module. But when I tried to create a new page, the text field didn't display anything - I've looked at other posts, but they all deal with v4 of Drupal.
I'm using the Garland theme.
I would appreciate any help on the matter

If you try to use Xinha with firefox do you get any htmlarea?

Yes! I just tested it with Firefox and it works.
I neglected to say that I was using IE 7

Same here. Drupal 5.7, htmlarena installed, but it does not show up at all...

Same problems, htmlarea doesn't appear.

Drupal 5.7 here, using Macs. Xinha (Xinha 0.95 RC2 from 2008-02-04) present in the htmlarea module folder. "Enabled rich text editor while authoring" on user page.

Zen theme:
- Safari 3: don't work
- Opera 9.25: don't work
- Firefox 2.0.0.12 : don't work (the whole page is messed up, nothing to do with htmlarea)
- IE : boycott

Garland theme:
- Safari 3: don't work
- Opera 9.25: don't work
- Firefox 2.0.0.12 : don't work (the whole page is messed up, nothing to do with htmlarea)
- IE : boycott

So promising... So disappointed... what to do?

I thought that the problem could come from the way the Xinha folder is called. Mine is "Xinha". Or maybe this is a Xinha version problem?

Is Xinha necessary by the way?

Good luck. Greetings.

I'm having the same problem with the same settings, irrespective of theme. What is the fix for this?

Erm... any progress on this? I would love to use this module but it is somewhat limited if it only works in Firefox. Clearly it used to work... any thoughts?

http://drupal.org/node/16050 initiated this problem as a fix for older versions of Xinha that were incompatible with Safari. Recent releases of Xinha are compatible with Safari 3. Using http://michelf.com/projects/multi-safari/, I loaded up Safari 2 and checked my patched version. Xinha did not appear, so I wonder if compatibility testing has been implemented in the editor.

To fix, you can apply the attached patch for htmlarea.module or remove the lines indicated in the patch yourself. This isn't a perfect fix, it would be better to know which versions of particular browsers are supported and block those, though this should be handled by Xinha.
